I run a BBS using a 2400 baud modem (I have tried 2 flavors of modem
with the same thing occurring). The Caller gets line noise garbage and 
the BBS sees nothing but a clean line. I have called my own BBS on a
voice line in the house and have seen it myself. 

The BBS phone line has it's own jack and own inhouse wiring. Well,
almost, there is a 2nd line on it used for a 2nd modem at 1200 baud.
The line used to split at the terminal box on the house and 1 line went
to the Phone company stump on one outdoor undeground cable and the other
on another. I thought the bridge from 1 cable that terminated on another
block and brought over to the BBS was faulty so I had them put the
second line onto the same cable hung off the same terminal block. Well,
it appears to have gotten worse since then.

Any thoughts? This does occur even when the 2nd modem is OFF. And as I
said, it is only the caller that sees the noise, not the BBS...

Please respond via this newsgroup as mail *NEVER* reaches me. Thanks.
